A NAME CHANGE FOR ONLINE HEALTH CARE

Washington, DC - February 18, 2000 - On one side, hungry

Dot-coms looking to stake their claim in cyberspace. On the

Other, domain-name speculators buying up the choice real

Estate. The two had to collide. Now they have -- in the

Internet's huge health care industry.

GotCom, a U. S.-based domain name consultancy, last week

Announced the sale of web locations Doctors. MD and

DoctorsMD. com. Online health care providers, anxious to

Find ways to gain critical mass, have been scrambling since.

It makes sense. Health care is a trillion-dollar industry

In the U. S. alone. Over 15,000 web sites provide on-line

Health information. And rapid consolidation in the Internet

Health industry has meant the formation of a couple of

Ten-ton gorillas: Healtheon/WebMD (HLTH) and DrKoop. com

(KOOP).

For players like Intelihealth, Mediconsult. com (MCNS),

Medscape (MSCP), Medem. com, WellPoint Health Networks (WLP),

Columbia/HCA (COL), and others, it's tough to compete.

Mindshare is tough to grab, and the advertising costs needed

To grab it are steep. An easy-to-find web address is a way

Of cutting those costs and building presence quickly.

Analysts are keeping close watch on the sale as an index of

Where online health care is headed -- and of who's ready to

Make the next move. "Obviously, we're pleased DoctorsMD came

To us with the sale," agreed GotCom lead consultant Thomas

Rogers. "Online health care is undergoing tremendous

Shifts, and we're glad we'll be able to add value to an

Emerging player."

GotCom is handling the sale through a partnership with

AfterNic. com, a domain name trading exchange. The median

Evaluation placed on DoctorsMD is $75,000; the sale is

Expected to conclude on March 9, 2000. The auction can
